They can be but they are only a small part of the overall setup. You still need to have proper posture and pay particular attention to your habits.

Different switches can also help depending on your typing habits and usecase.

For me personally having less keys means less movement leading to significantly reduced possibility of RSI. With just 42 keys on my keyboard literally everything is one key away from each finger on home row so I can spend more time typing and mousing around than a traditional full size keyboard+mouse setup.
it's a typical HN Gotcha of which I myself am often guilty, given hundreds of different chances, and one of those chances can make you a billionaire, then you can become a billionaire by betting on hundreds of different chances - but of course horse race gambling doesn't give you that billion in one shot chance.

on edit - well I guess it technically does it give it, but at such a high rate of investment it isn't really that worthwhile either. The point about the lottery is that a single ticket which costs little can return a billion. A horse race that returned a billion probably needs at least a 100 million to be bet, which is probably not even possible.
Entitled is more accurate.
I kinda agree, except on the car part, because cars dominate even densely populated areas where trams, metros and buses should.

> Today the US has 3-5X less population density than any country with high speed rail.

This may be true when averaged across the entire country (or even just the lower 48).

But it is absolutely not true if you consider various zones of the country as candidates for good rail service.

Several such zones exist, among them:

1. the north east corridor, perhaps one of the largest and densest conurbations in the world

2. the roughly rectangular shape formed with the NW corner in Minneapolis, the NW corner in Milwaukee, the SE corner in Detroit and SW corner in <wherever the hell that is>

3. The triangle in Texas formed by Dallas/Ft. Worth, Austin and San Antonio

All 3 have higher population densities than those found in non-urban parts of Europe; the latter have good to excellent train service, but none of these 3 do.
I don't know which wealthy, western country you live in, but to be clear in the US Acela trains get up to 150 mph (241 kmh) -- admittedly in a short section, but with other sections that have a top speed of 135 mph (217 kmh). The entire route from Washington to New York has an average speed (including stops) of 90mph (140 kmh).

Should Acela be faster? Probably! But people should be clear-eyed about what the reality of the situation is.

Once one admits that God's existence is undecidable, s/he can either live in fear of both possibilities or live free of both possibilities. Having no use for unfounded fear, I personally much prefer the latter option. God, if it exists, is irrelevant. Any spiritual activity I perform is for my own benefit and for the good of those around me, never for the consideration of a possible being that couldn't be bothered to manifest itself and make clear what its moral rules (if it has any) actually are.
You can just pop the second stack at each function return, though that does limit its use to only really scratch-space for dynamically sized objects. Like this: https://nullprogram.com/blog/2023/09/27/. “Arenas” are passed by value so their end pointer will auto reset when the function returns.
Being short is probably the biggest decider - I went around the indochinese peninsula on sleepers a few years ago, and my wife, pretty much on par with the average height for the region, slept like a tot, found her bunk spacious, while I, several SDs above the average, awkwardly wedged myself into my coffin and encountered every jolt through my bones - and believe me there were a lot of jolts. They stop everywhere, and there’s plenty of shunting.

But then again some sleepers (Shiki-Shima in Japan) are like being in a luxury hotel. Rather enjoyed having a soak in the tub in my suite.

Extra suspicious because his plan was to drive home that night to his family. The other side convinced him to stay for one more day of hearing, if I recall. And that night he stayed he mysteriously died.
People not working? WTF? It's the direct result of deregulation/self-regulation of the food chain. When the inspectors work for the food processing company, they don't have an incentive to find problems.

You'd think companies would value not killing their customers and market forces would take care of the problem, but, empirically, that's not how it has turned out. Customers are too far from the source; the incentives for fucking off are too high, and too frequently the food processors get away with it. Big-L Libertarianism is not compatible with safe food and medication.
That's because HN users enforce a strictly natobrained perspective and stories "from the other side" get flagged and killed. The only way to get views is to post comments.
I'm not sure that's true. I think that media has always had some inevitable inaccuracy, but it's only been in the past 20-30 years that people have had enough information to see that inaccuracy. Back when there were a dozen newspapers on the newsstand and 3 TV channels, there simply wasn't anywhere to see any information outside the mainstream media. This wasn't necessarily malicious or intentional; it was simply a reflection of culture and the type of people who worked in newsrooms. With the invention of the Internet anyone could easily find alternative sources of information. Sometimes those sources were more accurate than the mainstream, sometimes less. Nowadays there isn't a "mainstream" of media because there's so many sources, and the group labelled as "the mainstream media" is simply a group with similar biases.

Or to put it another way, the media's accuracy rate has stayed consistent at some value less than 100%, but if all three TV channels reported the same information then it looked like they had 100% accuracy. Once there were more sources of information then it became apparent that the media's accuracy was less than 100% despite their protests to the contrary.

The result is that the media landscape is fractured. A person can live in a bubble where all of their news sources (eg NYT, WaPo, and Bluesky for one bubble; Fox, Newsmax, and Truth Social for another bubble) all report the same information, making their accuracy appear to be 100%, while any single source of information outside the bubble that disagrees with the bubble is disagreeing with a bunch of apparently 100% accurate sources and so can safely be discarded.

The solution is to realize that no source is 100% accurate or unbiased even despite genuine efforts to be. That isn't to say that some sources aren't more accurate or unbiased than others, but you should apply some base level of skepticism to any and every source
I don’t understand the density argument: HST aren’t supposed to connect every places, that’s totally ineffective.

Instead you build rails between major hubs (those that got the biggest airports usually) and add stops on some medium cities that happen to be on the way. It serves those living close enough of the connected cities that want to go close enough to another connected city. _close enough_ depends on the local connection options like regional trains, bus, bikes, trams… and if there’s nothing you just grab a cab or rental car. The city of departure can be reached with your own personal car which is usually a bit cheaper and faster (therefore more range). Most travels destination are big cities or close enough (business, tourism…).

Rail planing is a Pareto game.

>During that time we assimilated the Ellis Islanders, beat the Great Depression, out-produced the Axis to win World War 2, split the atom, rebuilt Europe and Japan, electrified the country, fed the world with our Green Revolution, invented the transistor, cured polio, invented the integrated circuit, and built the Empire State Building, Golden Gate Bridge, Hoover Dam and interstate highway system. Cheap tech labor benefits a small club of men at the top, such as Elon and paulg. It is not essential to the success or prosperity of America or the American people.

To be clear, you're implying that all of these things, specifically, were the result of American anti-immigration policies and high wages for American workers?

Because I'm pretty sure America needed plenty of foreign help to split the atom, and that socialist programs like the WPA built much of the infrastructure you're talking about, and the interstate highways were built by government contractors and prison labor. And Americans may have invented the transistor, but the patents originated with Canadian, Austrian and German research. Of course, the cheap labor of manufacturing in China and elsewhere in Asia is responsible for the ubiquity and low cost of just about all electronics sold in the US. Almost everyone has something made by Sony or Panasonic, but no one has a Zenith TV anymore.

The "Green Revolution"... depended entirely on the cooperation of foreign governments, investment and labor. The US absolutely did not "feed the world with our Green Revolution," just as the US did not "win World War 2."

>Cheap tech labor benefits a small club of men at the top, such as Elon and paulg. It is not essential to the success or prosperity of America or the American people.

What's funny is that we're here on a board built for and primarily used by Silicon Valley tech people who make six figure salaries on the back of that labor, from H1-B visaholders to the South Americans cleaning their toilets down to the child slaves mining rare earth elements in the Congo, and were fine with it up until someone talked about them the way they talk about the foreign help.

And let's not pretend tech was ever about the success or prosperity of America or the American people. Ya'll got in it because you wanted to exit a billionaire like Zuckerberg or Musk with a little effort and a bullshit gimmick, while someone whose name you can't bother even trying to pronounce serves you a catered lunch at the commissary.

Yeah, sorry, you're just another one of the tomatoes.

>An America where children must study 24/7 and work 80 hours a week as slavish, soulless drones to compete with indentured servants from every corner of the world is not a country I want to live in.

Stop voting for the people who keep making it worse, then. Did you really think the globalist billionaire who never worked a real job and rarely paid his (often foreign) employees was a hero of the working man?
Fun take

Disconcerting take

I like the narrative aspect of it
Holy moly. I don’t think I’ve ever read an article so angry. Every paragraph has a sensational opinion or put down posing as fact.

There’s some fascinating industry trends here but the analysis in the article is overwhelmed by the cacophony of anecdotes about b movies and bland tv shows all encouraged by the corrupt and evil parent company. Not helpful.

My take on the quality of shows— there’s a huge volume of mediocre stuff but that’s always been the case with TV. (There’s literally hundreds of forgotten sitcoms on broadcast tv from the 70s to 90s). But there have been many gems in the past decade.

A random list of fantastic or innovative shows I saw first on NetFlix.
- House of Cards, season 1 and 2
- Russian Doll
- Squid Game
- Queens Gambit
- Ballad of Buster Scruggs
- Arcane
- Kaos

Only the first was mentioned in the article, and with negative comment.

Overall, a poorly written article and a waste of time to read it.

I remember in the early 2000s, computer science was not a very attractive field. The headlines were saying the jobs would go to India. People weren't predicting that in the 2010s, demand would get so high that people would switch careers to do a 3 month boot camp (or equivalent self-study) and then making six figures remotely. To the people who got non-software stem degrees, and went into a stem career, the world of software looked like an alternative reality. Imagine a 3 month bootcamp to become a structural engineer or chemical engineer. To stem folks outside of the software world, the bar being raised feels like a return to normalcy. A lot of the mundane work you used to need an army of coders for is now doable with an LLM in cursor/vs code. Most stem majors take at least one coding class in college, but didn't have the patience to really get into it, but AI has opened that door. I don't want to sound callous or unempathetic, but a chunk of software workers no longer being unemployable makes total sense to those outside the software world. But, give it a few years, surprises often occur, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's another massive software hiring wave.
Seconding Uvix's question.

I was looking for work in 2021-2022, and an approach like yours got me a job after interviewing with circa 10 companies. Unfortunately ended up on the wrong side of office politics and had to leave in early 2024.

At the start of my 2024 job search I again tried targeted search, targeting was good enough that I had a circa 1:10 application to interview ratio. It took over 50 companies before I found my current role. The market is much tougher now than it was a few years ago.

I hear there was a time when companies were eager/desperate to hire. Those were good years for job seekers.
>If you can't stand out from an LLM then why can't it do your job?

My job isn't writing resumes and cover letters.

> Also, not using LLMs might be a red flag. I wouldn't want a dev that is not open to this technology...

lmao this is exactly the issue. There are hiring managers in here saying they're trying to filter out people using LLMs in applications and you're telling me to use LLMs.

Mechanical keyboards are nice, but what stumps me is the lack of support for USB hubs embedded in the keyboard.

I don't feel like a suggestion that materially widens the court is actually a serious solution. There's too many gyms built, too many other leagues playing on the standard court size, widening the court fundamentally changes the game too much in ways that are too integrated with literal physical infrastructures across the globe and levels of play.
The point of the abstractions I'm talking about is not to abstract away the computation part of a program, it's to abstract away the types and complexities of the semantics.
Ever wondered how AI can actually “understand” language? The answer lies in embeddings—a powerful technique that maps words into a multidimensional space. This allows AI to differentiate between “The light is bright” and “She has a bright future.”

I’ve written a blog post explaining how embeddings work intuitively with examples. hope you'll like it :)
Perhaps a better question is: For those who have recently found new employment; how much trouble did you have to go through in order to land the job?
Bill originally worked with a team of people doing this in HK (that later broke up, some of the people involved were...characters).

Working more for less is the issue, that's exactly what this boils down to.

There are several aspects that come into play:

1. How the PRC (mainland China) regards Taiwan (or ROC).

2. How Taiwan regards itself. This has changed over time.

3. How third-parties play that situation.

Since Nixon's visit to China in the 1970s, the world recognized that it was pointless to deny that the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) ruled mainland China for good. From there, the PRC progressively got official recognition in institutions like the UN. In order not to inflame the PRC's leadership and keep access to mainland China, many countries state that they do not recognize or encourage Taiwan's independence. But note that they also maintain de facto diplomatic relationships, being careful not to use the name "embassy" or "consulate".

In reality, Taiwan has been absolutely independent since the 1950s. It's just that it's not officially recognized by most institutions and countries for diplomatic reasons.

I'll add that the "one China policy" is ambiguous by design. It doesn't mean that it must happen in the foreseeable future. It also doesn't mean that the PRC should be allowed to take over Taiwan through military might.

In the end, no matter what the various parties' policies are, almost nobody in Taiwan at this point believes that a peaceful so-called "reunification" is desirable or possible. I put the word "reunification" in quotes in particular because the CCP never controlled Taiwan, and also because in general the historical argument doesn't make any sense. Personally, I think that the principle of self-determination is what should apply here, for moral reasons. [1]

Ukraine wasn't joining NATO when Russia invaded in 2014 or 2022 when the full scale invasion happened. Ukraine wasn't even seeking NATO membership in 2014 prior to the Russian invasion. The goal of the post revolution of dignity government was stability and taking steps towards joining the EU(and even joining the EU was still seen as a difficult process that would at best take many years). Everyone including Russia knew that there was no chance of joining NATO anytime soon since France and Germany among other countries had and were still objecting. It's clear that the NATO excuse for the war is absurd bullshit
